ok guys this is the error:

question 3 b.cpp
C:\computer science programming\CPP2\exam\question 3 b.cpp(45) : error C2512: 'Wheel' : no appropriate default constructor available
C:\computer science programming\CPP2\exam\question 3 b.cpp(45) : error C2512: 'Wheel' : no appropriate default constructor available
C:\computer science programming\CPP2\exam\question 3 b.cpp(45) : error C2437: 'Wheel' : already initialized
Error executing cl.exe.

for some reason it fails to work, I know its due to the constructor not passing the parameters correctly but can't figure it out

Bike (incorrectly) derives from Wheel, so you need to supply a constructor call to the base class. If one isn't make explicitly, it's provided for you using the default constructor. Try this:

Bike::Bike(int f, int b): Wheel(0), front(f), back(b) {}

Of course, 0 is probably not an appropriate value.

but then every value is set to 0. Can you expand on incorrectly derives from Wheel please?

>Can you expand on incorrectly derives from Wheel please?
A bike isn't a wheel, it has wheels, so containment is the better option:

class Bike {
public:
  //...
private:
  Wheel front, back;
};
